Willie Dee made the tour! His kindness and knowledge whetted our appetite for more. The tour was like a moving encyclopedia of Galveston. Seeing the many houses from Restoring Galveston and inside information on each home reached beyond our expectations. We will return and see it all over again!

Absolutely fabulous tour! Willie D was a knowledgeable and fun tour guide. Riding in the electric Model T was a great way to see the homes. We appreciated the pictures he had of each place when it was either destroyed by a hurricane or before the Restoring Galveston team began their Reno. There is so much history in Galveston

This tour is a must in Galveston. We toured the city in an electric model T (so fun) with our fun tour guide Willie D. He was very knowledgeable about the Galveston area, the 1900 flood, the Restoring Galveston properties. It was a great way to see the historic districts and the beautiful homes.
